It has blue-grey skin that turns yellow as it matures. Banana melons are smooth with very little netting. In 1889 it was commonly available at farmer's markets in Philadelphia, New York and Boston. Sweet spicy flavor, salmon pink flesh. Good late-maturing type. Can stand the sun. Contains 20 heirloom seeds Show more
